Tell it like it is...

Courts are irrelevant as long as I rule.

One more time:

 

 Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed.

That topic is running here:

 

Yingluck says her bank accounts confiscated, money withdrawn
 

Maybe I was trying to be too brief. Many were saying the money was only frozen not removed from the account.  Sorry.

Yingluck seizure follows law, won’t hurt reconciliation, says Deputy Minister 

By The Nation

 

Deputy Minister of Defence Gen Udomdej Sitabutr said he believes that seizure of former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s assets would not affect the ongoing reconciliation attempt.

 

The matter followed legal process, he said. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan had already explained that actions being taken are within the law and the matter was currently proceeding through the justice system, he added.

 

While declining to go into detail, Udomdej said that there was nothing to worry about concerning the case.

  They really don't care what anyone thinks do they?

 

  This just might be the straw that broke the Camel's back,  while it certainly needs to happen I hope it doesn't while I'm here with my young family.....

The silly little general can take this stance, having effectively given himself and his cronies immunity from any such malfeasance on their part.

 'The matter followed legal process, he said. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan had already explained that actions being taken are within the law and the matter was currently proceeding through the justice system, he added.'

 

Which  process and system they invent and interpret as they go along especially and exclusively for the Shinawatras.

Looks like a prejudgement seizure of assets.

She will do a runner & there will most unfortunately be more blood on the streets.

This one reminds me a bit of Jakarta 25 years ago.

The PM wants to be a bit careful about "the power of the people"

The kettle is not boiling but is coming up to a simmer

Huge ego showing through here; he is in effect saying my government and I do not need courts

Courts are irrelevant

Yes and her money is confiscated three weeks before her verdict. 

 

Perfectly normal. 

 

Have te your friend scheduled her funeral yet?

 

Confiscated and frozen are not the same. But hey, don't let that little misquote stop your game.

The fact is we don't know. And probably never will.
